Professional ServicesProfessional Services firms have unique requirements for technology. As outlined by the Global ERP Software Industry Forum, a professional services firm's most valuable asset is the relationships its professionals nurture with clients and industry colleagues. These relationships are often the source of new business referrals and the single most influential factor in winning new sales opportunities.
